He’s so uncultured, when you say Swiftie, he thinks you’re talking about Jonathan Swift. Whoever he was. (Or: Fuck I’m old) (programming.dev)

No, clearly I ain’t got no culture.

The boomers would probably get that one better, but I doubt there’s any kind of boomer community.

Seriously, I saw the word and was thinking they enjoy old literature.

Pretty sure we had the E9112 and E9116 back in the day. Now I have a legit B92FS but it doesn't squirt water. For work reasons.

Ah, nostalgia. (Don't play with guns!)

As I've gotten older, I find myself doing the old ughs and groan while getting off the couch or say things to my kids that my parents told me. I also truly appreciate the coveted chair or spot on the couch which is "Dad's Spot!"
